This book contains the very personal reflections of a Malaysian-born orthopaedic surgeon who travelled to Lebanon to work in the refugee camp hospitals that came under fire during the 1982 and 1985 invasions. Her vivid, no-holds-barred descriptions of the devastation and inhumanity that ruled there is contrasted with her tales of heroism and hope against all odds. This all sounds quite cliche', and I supposed it is, but it did strike a chord with me nonetheless.

Secara nih buku berbentuk testimoni, seperti buku FOR GOD OR COUNTRY, maka segi bahasa ato penyampaian emang tidak terlalu diutamakan. Apalagi nih buku terjemahan. Tapi isinya, huuu, sangat menyentak dan mengharukan. Bikin mbrebes mili alias nangis sesenggukan. Bikin kita, baik sebagai umat Islam atau sebagai human being, ngerasa marah sama tentara2 Israel yang tak berperikemanusiaan. Pokoknya MUST-READ banget deh!!!!

Yang utama dalam buku ini adalah fakta-fakta yg disampaikan berdasarkan penglihatan DR. Ang Swee Chai sbg saksi pembantaian dan apa yang ada selama tugas disana. Selain daripada fakta yg ia sampaikan, banyak juga diceritakan bagaimana ia berinteraksi dengan sesama dokter yang mempunyai prinsip berbeda dan malah berseberangan dengan ideologi kedokteran yang ia pahami. Sebuah bacaan yang membuka mata.

Pandangan sekilas saya terhadap Dari Beirut ke Jerusalem ialah ianya amat menarik untuk dihalusi dan isinya datang dari hati yang luhur oleh seorang panganut Kristian bernama Dr. Ang Swee Chai. Tambahan pula mutu terjemahan ke bahasa Melayu yang amat baik berjaya dilaksanakan oleh unit buku Harakah.

I ever hear about Lebanon before but after I read this book, I really realise how cruel they destroy lebanon, and what is that for? nothing......But I admire the struggle of Swee Ang Chai, Lebanon and Palestina people, the destroyed but they rise again and again...Salute swee Ang Chai for what did you done

Keistimewaan orang palestina yang paling mengagumkan adalah --> ga peduli berapa kali pun dihancurkan mereka akan bangkit kembali, membangun bata demi bata... Mungkin kata2 "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger" bisa merepresentasikan kekuatan palestina..
